He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!"Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother.

He handed me the rod(鱼杆)and taught me how to throw my line into the water.The sun warmed us. We sat and talked. “I remember when I coul d sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned(倚靠)back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers(浮子). No fish pull ed them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.He was an amazing man. In the short time we had together, he taught me many things: how to fish, the value of a good laugh, the value of a good friend, respect for my eld ers and the importance of working hard and l oving hard er.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice(小米), but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients(原料).Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality(质量)potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention(初心).” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization(乡村振兴)depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22.What’s Du’s guoba made of?A.millet rice B.crispy corn C.sweet potatoes D.col orful potatoes23.How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A.They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31.The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A.describing a fact B.listing a numberC.asking a question D.giving an example32.The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A.the main cause of B.the different kinds ofC.a simpl e tool to find D.a new method to fix33.The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A.experience B.weakness C.language D.examination34.The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A.personal and d oubtful B.sad but humorousC.scientific and promising D.informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35.This passage tells us mainly about ________.A.the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B.how to guess what one is going to talk about.C.Some examples of right guessing.D.how important it is to guess all the time.36.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A.…so I didn’t have a good time.”B.…so I went to bed very late.”C.…so I felt unhappy.”D.…so I got up very early.”37.Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A.“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B.“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C.“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D.“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38.From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A.the only wayB.more important in spoken English than in written English.C.more important than any other wayD.more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50.After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A.Importing plastic products from abroad.B.Buying solid waste from abroad.C.Selling metals to other countries.D.Producing solid waste.51.What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B.About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C.China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D.It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B.What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C.What risks solid waste brought to China.D.How solid waste should be dealt with.53.According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A.wasteful B.effective(有效的) C.chall enging D.expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera.

One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars,driving trucks,building roads,or filling cars with gas.Americans won't live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car.However,some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to people's health. One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine(发动机)by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,we'll have to make some changes.Americans,for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Althoughcars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.(1)Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which_______.A.is clean in itselfB.is used to clean streetsC.is easier to makeD.does not pollute the air(2)If the number of cars cuts down,the most serious problem to American workers is to_______.A.have no work to doB.improve their environmentC.go to work by bikeD.make their factories richer(3)The writer wants to tell us that_______.A.riding a bike is the only way outB.the number of cars must be cut downC.people wouldn't live without carsD.cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems(4)Which fact does the passage provide?A.About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.B.The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.C.It isn't easy to change the way of life in the US.D.In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.(5)Which is the best title(标题)for the passage?A.A New Way to Get Rid of Polluted AirB.Cars and Polluted AirC.Many Serious Problems in the USD.Changes in Car Production2.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what alovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.(1)From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat(2)Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored(3)This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB.

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon(巨石牌坊) pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers(鹿角)of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter(直径) a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones (up to 4 tons) 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves (burial sits) nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.(1)he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place(2)Which evidence(证据) is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A.

If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.

阅读理解大全(一)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do " for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages don't just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change between the two pairs of sentences:"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples.""I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.( )1.From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouldn't put every word into our languageB. we should look up every word it the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own language( )2.We can learn from the passage that .A. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be differentB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning( )3.

He must change his reading speed to fit his purpose and the material he is reading, just as a driver does fit the road situation. A good reader may be able to read a thousand words per minute (WPM) , but he won't use that speed for everything he reads. A good reader doing research reading in the library may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for materials for a report. But once he finds something that is useful to him, hemay need to slow down to 100 WPM . A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 WPM .

It was about 15 miles away on the other side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night . Darkness fell along the narrow road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.Now we traveled for about 20miles but we could not find the town. We were beginning to feel worried. Then the car stopped. We found we were out of petrol, so we decided to spend the night in the car.After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon he came running back. From the top of the hill he had seen the lights of the town in the valley below. We at once tried to push car to the top of the hill. In less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.1.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. "It's cool." You may think,"He's so cool,"when you see your favourite football player.We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words, such as "new" or"surprising".Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student's paper was just the one sentence,"It's so cool."Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool" I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word "cool" has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningC. many different meanings2.In the passage, the word "express" means "_______".A. seeB. showC. know3.If you are ________ something, you may say,"It's cool."A. interested inB. angry aboutC. worried about4.The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried about5.In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示)that the word "cool"___________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colorful(五)C B A A C(六)Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended."That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is," said Cai Wenguo , the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating (作弊)happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas. "I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted (信任) me," said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11."Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators (监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed, 99 said Hua Sha."I don' t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed," Liu Qingxi said."I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want tocheck their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them," Shangguan Yuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ______________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in exams( ) 2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to _________.

If there are no invigilators, the students will certainly get lower marks.C. Exams without invigilators will never be held since students are not honest. ( ) 5.

The meeting, the Sixth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (世界贸易组织第六次部长级会议), will be held from December 13 to 18.Poor countries say that the WTO's international trade rules are not fair. The rules allow rich countries, like the US and those of the EU, to give money, or subsidies (津贴), to their farmers. With the subsidies, farmers are able to sell their crops at lower prices.As a result, world prices go down. Farmers in poor countries that don't have subsidies get less money and even lose their livelihoods.Since China joined the WTO in 2001, for example, lots of subsidized US cotton (棉花) has been sold in the country. Cotton prices fell from about 6 yuan to less than 3 yuan per kg in 2001 and 2002.Every year, rich countries support their farmers with more than US$300 billion. During the coming Hong Kong meeting, poorer nations will ask the rich nations to get rid of the subsidies.Zhang Xiangchen, a senior official from China's Ministry of Commerce (商务部), said China believes that rich countries should end their subsidies by 2010.1. What problem will the Hong Kong meeting try to solveA. Air pollution.B. International trade.C. Agricultural modernization.2. Who might the meeting benefit (有利于)A. Farmers in rich countries.B.

We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re ina car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateb oard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t.It will fly through the air, hit the gro und and break.Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying, it wi ll stay safely on the skateboard.Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts i n 1849.Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear the m.Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly —in less than one second —to keep the people inside safe.。

There are new rules about what children may be given for these lunches. The reason for this is to give children healthier food. There are many foods that children aren't allowed to eat and they're only allowed to eat small amounts of fatty or sweet food. If you were at a school there, you might hear this conversation as you wait for your lunch.Josh: What's for lunch? I want chips!Dinner lady: No chips today. You've had chips twice this week already.Josh: Oh! OK, I'll have a chicken pie with gravy.Dinner lady: No, sorry. You've had a pastry dish(油酥食品) once this week already.Josh: Really?Oh, yes, on Monday. Well, what can I have? I'd like pasta and sauce.Dinner lady: No, sorry. Pasta counts as a pastry dish. So you can't have that, either.You've had two pastry dishes this week---a meat pie and a pizza. You can havevegetables or salad. The meatballs are nice today.Josh: All right. I'll have meatballs and steamed vegetables. I hope they're tasty.Dinner lady: They're good for you!Josh:I miss my chips. They're my favorite. I used to have them every day, before these new rules came in.Dinner lady: Well, that's why these rules were brought in. Too many children were eating junk food, especially chips. Children like chips, but they aren't a healthy choice.Josh: I'll have an apple juice with that, please.Dinner lady: OK, but its only 150 ml. You aren't allowed more than that as juice has sugar in it. The new rules encourage you to drink water. No soft drinks at all.Students cannot have more than two portions (份额)a week of food that has been deep-fired. They must have at least three different fruits and three different vegetables every week. Whole grains such as brown bread are to be given,instead of "white" grains.These rules are to teach healthy eating and to stop children putting on too much weight.

How do you solve them? Tom, a middle school student, would take out his smart phone, open a special app (应用) and search the problem. Answers soon appear on the screen.Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the special apps like Tom. "It's convenient. You don't have to go out or wait for a tutor (家庭教师) at home," Tom said. "You also learn by seeing how others work them out. It's very helpful and improves students' abilities." said John, another student. He said it was especially true for new types of homework.John's Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to John's turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PPTS (演示文稿)."I've become skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office." John said.However, many people think this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy.Head teacher Mr. Wang in Tom and John's school thinks that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control. "No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it by yourself first. Remember not to depend on the Internet too much." the teacher said.

If you don't have confidence in your self-control, ask your parents for help."1.If the students have problems in their homework,how do they solve them?A.take out their computerB.wait for a tutorC.search a special appD.ask for their teacher2.What is not the advantage of the app?A.convenientB.helpfulC.quickD.true3.What progress does John make?A.He can search online.B.He can picks out certain storiesC.He can make PPTs.D.He can become skilled at finding information online4.Why is Mr.Wang against using the app?A.The students have good self-control.B.The students understand the reasons behind the answers.C.The students copy the answers online without thinking.D.The students think about the problem by themselves first.5.What can we learn from the last sentence?A.Mr. Wang advised students not to depend on the apps too much when doing homework.B.Mr.Wang advised students to keep away from the app.C.Mr. Wang advised parents to help students with their homework.D.Mr. Wang advised parents to increase students' confidence in self-control.【答案】CDDCA(八)English learners shouldn't think that mistakes are bad. One language expert, Alex Poole, advises that language learners should see mistakes as signs of progress. “The goal is to be able to communicate. If you make a mistake, you shouldn't worry about it unless it causes communication stop, ”Poole said.When you are speaking with a native(本国的)English speaker, there are two. kinds of things you can do to look for mistakes. The first is to look for misunderstanding. For example, perhaps a person gives an unusual response(反应)to something you said. You can then ask them directly what the problem is. The second works if you' know w a native speaker well. You can ask them about the kinds of things that could cause communication problems.When it comes to writing, Poole suggests thinking about mistakes in a different way. He advises English learners to keep a list of common mistakes and think about the main ideas first when they write something. Then, he suggests thinking about how to put those ideas in order. Instead of thinking about grammar, he suggests you think about the big picture of what you arewriting about. After writing something, you can go back and use your list to look for mistakes. I know that I'm never going to be perfect, and so that shouldn't bother(困扰)me. But I should look for things which cause communication problems.1. If an English learner makes a mistake, he shouldA.correct it immediatelye it to make progressC.worry about it all the timeD. stop communicating and think about it2.When native speakers give an unusual response to what you said,you shouldA.ask them what the problem isB.repeat your wordsC.say sorry and continue your talkingD.write down your mistakes3. Which way does Poole think is good for writing?A. Checking your mistakes on grammar.B. Forgetting your mistakes while writing.C. Keeping a list of your common mistakes.D.Talking about your mistakes with your friend.4.The underlined word picture in paragraph 3 probably meansA.照片B.插图C.主题大意D.框架提纲5.What does the writer want to tell us from the passage?A. We should look for our mistakes all the time.B. We're not perfect learners because of mistakes.C. Don't be afraid to make mistakes while learning a language.D.Care about people's unusual response when we make mistakes.【答案】BACDC(九)On September 1,1659, exactly eight years after I had first left England, I left Brazil to goto Guinea.

There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals---opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism(新闻工作) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment(成就). For example, you could take a lifeguard(救生员) course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate(证书) to became a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp---personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: is it a special opportunity? Is it challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!1. Which is the writer’s opinion?A.
